Founded in 2011, Impossible Foods is considered the #1 plant-based meat company by technology, scale, and growth. Based in California, this food technology company makes the global food system truly sustainable by making meat, fish, and dairy products from plants. The company uses modern science and technology to create wholesome food, restore natural ecosystems and feed a growing population sustainably.
The Company touts its reliance on fewer environmental resources -- such as land, water, and CO2 emissions -- than what’s necessary to produce meat thereby being significantly "GREENER" than the traditional meat industry. Over 190 IP's were created to give Impossible Foods' plant-based meat the texture, flavor, and appearance of real meat. Its products give people the flavor and appearance of meat without the negative impact on the environment.
